Amazing D3 51 point 3D focus:

"I love the ability of the Nikon D3 to track autofocus. The new 3D 51 Point Autofocus mode is especially useful for following erratically moving subjects (like my small dogs). The D3 will follow my dogs better than my D2X was ever able to do.
The first 22 photos were taken by the D3 at 9 fps in 2 1/2 seconds - and EVERY photo is in focus. With my D2X I would only have gotten 1/3 of those photos in focus - and by in focus with the D2x I mean their tail would have been in focus - their face - not so much."

I've tried shooting some small animals before, it's VERY VERY hard to keep the animal inside the frame, not to mention get a correct focus
And look at how only the ground underneath the dog is in focus!!
